re: Accounting, Grad school vs. 150 hours in undergrad

Do the MS curriculum, you will actually learn something and it's nice to have a post graduate degree on your resume once you're deeper in your career. Plus if you're going into a big market like Texas youll be competing with 5 year master's degree grads from all the TX schools. Don't do the IA program unless you need the internship. There are big 4 internships available without going through that circus. Goes without saying there is more opportunity in TX.
